#mycyclingweekend: Let's clean up the b******ds

Considering the prize for this week's #mycyclingweekend winner was a bottle of Muc-Off's finest shower gel, courtesy of Cycle Surgery, you lot stayed miraculously clean. Well, most of you did.

One man, John Grenfell, got particularly dirty. Paint and race sweat. Not to say that those of you who stayed clean this #mycyclingweekend are any better or worse than our man John, but we really like to see a bit of sweat and work ethic here at road.cc.

We don't know about Muc-Off shower gel's paint stripping capacity, John, perhaps you could let us know.

 

A weekend of decorating, racing, decorating, social riding followed by more decorating. Jeans looking a little dirty now as the quality of my painting diminishes the more tired my legs get! #cyclesurgery does #mucoff work on paint? #mycyclingweekend #Caad9 #TrowVegasCC #BathCC #odddown

John wasn't alone in the dirty b*****d department, others got dirty too. Check out Instagram user Egon Mutsaerts - known as @trainslowracehard the photo-based social network - and his action shot in Malonne, Belgium.

You were already looking pretty mucky mid-race, Egon, did it get much worse?

 

Third time on the podium this season@ 4h race Malonne! First 2 hours I was fighting for the first place, then I had to slow down & finally became thirth... #pedaltothemedal #mountainbike #singletrack #mycyclingweekend #cramps #bicyclelife #lifebehindbars #fromwhereiride #revenbikes #colewheels #sr_suntour #qnoop

We were also a little surprised that Instagram user @littlesunshine 1806 didn't get messy, given how close she was getting to this cow!

There was plenty of squeaky clean fun to be had too, this #mycyclingweekend. Two road.cc team members, Tass Whitby and Laura Laker went out for rides, and both did a marvelous job at staying clean. Laura battled against cleats that seemed determined to ruin her day, and Tass battled West Country hills and over 92 miles of riding at Bike Bath.

 

This happened on this morning's ride. I thought there was a little more float than normal. #mycyclingweekend

They weren't alone in the clean fun department, and they also weren't alone in the road.cc repping department either. Instagram user @peted76 climed Alpe d'Huez in his road.cc best. Chapeau, chap!

It's not all about the miles at the #mycyclingweekend at the end of the miles comes the cleaning. And some of the things you don't see. #N+1 #cyclesurgery #focus #cervelo #cayo #S3 #mucoff #c3ceramic
